The typical /sbin/installkernel script does a cp "$2" "/boot/...", so you can't use the already installed files as its arguments. > This <insert swear word here> happens on openSUSE 13.1, maybe their installkernel script needs fixing. I guess that the problem is that grub2-mkconfig sees the temporary /boot/vmlinuz-*-rpm file and creates a menu entry for it. I guess we should create the temporary kernel and initrd files somewhere else than in /boot.
